And it's not going to be a PPA--they are built on 100% gen-yoo-wine Debian virtual machines.Many will argue that qBittorrent is about the finest Bittorrent client available for Linux, but unfortunately it hasn't been updated in Debian since 3.3.7, and the current release is at 3.3.13. So I've set up an OBS repo with an additional newer libtorrent-rasterbar engine for it to use, tweaked the qBittorrent /debian files somewhat to make it automatically build on Qt 4 if it sees it's building on a Jessie base, but use Qt 5 if on Stretch (which saves me making two different source packages ), and they successfully built:

Thanks for the feedback! I really don't know of any way to get statistics of how many downloads I'm getting from one of those repos.

I'm going to update the libtorrent-rasterbar packages to 1.1.7+git from the qBittorrent PPA, and qBittorrent itself to the latest 4.1.1 release. Hopefully the OBS isn't overburdened like it was a few days ago.

Edit: sources are loaded, packages are building, and I added Debian testing, since it's been stuck on 4.0.3 in Buster & Sid for a while.

I tried your deb package today. I am very grateful for its existence, even though it didn't work out to well for me. I am running Debian 9 Stretch. Added your repository and ran an apt-get install qbittorrent.

When launching the program I had 0 torrents in my client. Before the upgrade I had quite many. I am happy that a downgrade to my old package worked though, still had my torrents there.

Any clue why they didn't exist after upgrading? I was upgrading from v3.3.15.

Figured it out now. Two years ago I had similar issues. Some others also had the issue and a patch was created. That patch exists in the 4.0 branch, but not in 4.1. I have now downloaded your 4.0 deb instead, and it works fine. I ended up with creating this support ticket at GitHub.
